Newby, who turns 27 in February, posted a 4.26 ERA and 99/44 K/BB ratio over 118 1/3 innings as a starter and reliever this past season between Double-A Mobile and Triple-A Reno. He'll provide some pitching depth in the minors. Fri, Dec 16, 2011 09:54:00 PM

Newby, 24, managed a 3.99 ERA and 48/24 K/BB ratio in 65 1/3 innings (two starts) this season at Double-A Mobile. He was called up by the Diamondbacks in late May but did not make an appearance. Thu, Dec 3, 2009 06:29:00 PM

Diamondbacks optioned RHP Kyler Newby to Double-A Mobile.

What a brief, unfulfilled trip it was. Newby, just recalled yesterday, returns to Double-A to make room for Friday starter Billy Buckner. He did not pitch during the roughly 24 hours he was with the big club. Fri, May 22, 2009 04:01:00 PM

He's done for the season, as Athletics manager Bob Melvin had previously indicated was likely. It's a rotten way for Olson's campaign to end, but the rookie had a mighty impressive showing with 24 home runs over just 59 games.

Chad Pinder said he won't play again this season after suffering a concussion.

Pinder became a favorite of Oakland this year, but he struggled offensively after a strong start and didn't distinguish himself defensively at any of his positions. Overall, he hit .238/292/.457 with 15 homers in 282 at-bats. It'd make a lot more sense to pencil him in as a utilityman next year than to try to find him a spot as a regular.

Mark Canha had surgery this week on his right wrist but is expected to be ready for spring training.

Canha played only 57 games for the Athletics this past season, hitting five homers and posting a rough .208/.262/.382 batting line in that time. If healthy, he should compete for a bench spot in Oakland in 2018.

Powell suffered a bruised left kneecap last week. An MRI showed no structural damage, but the A's aren't going to push him with only six games remaining on their schedule. The 24-year-old outfielder posted a promising .321/.380/.494 batting line in 92 plate appearances with Oakland after being acquired from Seattle in early August for Yonder Alonso.

Cotton is done for the season, but getting through an extended bullpen session with no issues gives himself and the A's comfort that the righty's elbow is OK going into the offseason. He'll be in the running for a rotation spot in 2018 even after a disappointing 5.58 ERA over 24 starts in 2017.
